Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Shadows form knights and pawns upon the squares
Blood is drawn up from the well
Secret signs brought the crime right to your door
An innocent guilty as hell
Oh, the cot is open wide, damp with milk and honey
Gone, the mother and the child in Jesus' name
ย
Oh, the cot is open wide, damp with milk and honey
Gone, the mother and the child in Jesus' name
Should they be waiting there on my return
I may run into their arms
Walking on a razor's edge, unconcerned
Game is lost again, I'll never learn
